The festival honours and celebrates the Hindu goddess Maa Durga, who is considered the embodiment of divine feminine power and symbolises the victory of good over evil. Durga is depicted as a warrior goddess riding a lion and armed with various weapons and is believed to have vanquished the demon king Mahishasura after a fierce battle.

Kumar Sanu is a renowned playback singer. Some of his most famous songs include “Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jana Sanam” from the movie “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” “Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai” from “Saajan,” and “Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain” from “Pardes,” among many others.
